Is science fiction truly fiction?

Through artificial intelligence and the collection of all possible information for Machine Learning, I have brought to life the greatest science fiction writers from the past to talk about this subject. In this way I won't write this alone, let the journey begin...

Science fiction and modern technology are always together like peanut butter and jelly.

But...

What is science fiction?

`“Science fiction writers foresee the inevitable, and although problems and catastrophes may be inevitable, solutions are not.” Isaac Asimov`	Hey Isaac, I think you're right.. this is such a deep thought.
`“Anything one man can imagine, other men can make real.” Jules Verne`	¡Jules! We imagine or we create. How awesome would it do both, isn't it?

So...

According to you, science fiction is related to imagination and thinking about solutions to current and even future problems. I need more information... Does anyone want to add something else? What is needed to achieve this? How is the transition from one to the other?

`“Nature never appeals to intelligence until habit and instinct are useless. There is no intelligence where there is no need of change.” H.G. Wells`	Perhaps we still without a time machine because we have don't need it...
`“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.”Arthur C. Clarke`	The fact of being able to see and hear a person miles away seems like magic. If we traveled to the past and explained it, they would burn us for heretics. Thanks for sharing your third law.
`“Nothing contributes so much to tranquilize the mind as a steady purpose” Mary Shelley`	Hey, I think this is one of the most significant contributions of science fiction, it gives intellectuals, professionals, scientists a firm purpose, ideals, and dreams to achieve. Thank you for representing women in this category!

I say goodbye affectionately to my friends science fiction writers:
-Isaac Asimov (1920-1992)
Best known for... Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics and the foundation trilogy
-Jules Verne (1828-1905) Best known for.. Journey to the Center of the Earth y Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea
-Arthur C. Clarke (1917-2008) Best known for.. 2001: A Space Odyssey
-H. C. Wells (1866-1946)Best known for.. The Time Machine y The Invisible Man
-Mary Shelley (1797-1851) Best known for.. Frankenstein

I want to talk about science fiction today…

Let's talk about movies, let's talk about series.

The genre of science fiction has grown enormously thanks to the cinematographic arts and in parallel with them. In 1902 Georges Méliès, represented an extraordinary trip to the moon, we know that man indeed came to the moon several decades after this event, the imagination of Geo Méliès materialized without him even notices it.

If we pay attention to the trends of the current science fiction genre, it is not absurd to think that many of the technologies can be (or are) developed. In order to make intelligent decisions, we must take into consideration the world how it is and howit would be, science fiction is a great ally for it.

Now, here are some good examples...

Orphan Black
It introduces a concept in which humanity itself intends to evolve through technology, genetic engineering, cloning and even surprisingly sophisticated prostheses. As for prosthetics and biotechnology, there is a bunch of series and films such as Terminator,Robocop y The Bionic Woman.

Black Mirror
The dream of technology lovers and science fiction fans, the genius of this series is the moral factor in each of the stories that show their episodes. The most represented technologies in their episodes are: artificial intelligence, simulations with an incredible level of realism; in general, robotics and complex automatic systems.

HER
An artificial intelligence so sophisticated, so real, that not only is able to pass the Turing test, but it is able to captivate the heart of a man. In this society in which individuals feel increasingly lonely, Human-Machine relationships are a reality in some countries of the world.

And so I can continue with many examples of Science fiction today, but I think that technology progresses with such speed that validates the phrase “Reality surpasses fiction”.

None of the examples of Science Fiction is extremely far-fetched or impossible to perform in the future (well, maybe there is one). The possibility of dreaming is what gives us encouragement to work and to be able to do it responsibly.

Sure you don't live in The Matrix?
